Xiaomi Launching New Android Console, a Xiaomi Box Update

It appears that Xiaomi wants a piece of the Android console market, since a bunch of fresh rumors are saying that the company is prepping to launch a new Android gaming device.

Reports talk about a new mystery device, that would be a handheld Android games console, but it’s basically an updated Xiaomi Box in the end. Tipsters say that Xiaomi is planning a games store application, that can be installed on the current Android powered set top box. Frankly speaking, I didn’t even know Xiaomi had such a thing in its portofolio…

There’s talk about a possible Xiaomi Smart TV, believe it or not and also some special gaming accessories such as gamepads and controls. So, it’s either a software update for the current Xiaomi Box or the Xiaomi Box 2 with gaming abilities. We’ll learn more on September 5th, when the company makes the unveiling.
